Equal parts life, love & food

Bath Salt Sand Art

For a while, bath salts and bath gift sets were all the rage. I had accumulated a few packs of salts and, although I love soaking in the tub, its not something I get the time for very often. Inspiration often hits me at random moments and usually with found objects. My family lovingly calls this “Amy Art”. I saw some kids doing sand art at the Grant Seafood Festival (mmm fried scallops) and that was my jumping off point for this project.

Ok, back to bath salts. The bottle was leftover from lemonade we took on a picnic one day. I made a little funnel with wax paper and then poured each bath salt in carefully, making sure each was level before I poured the next color. One of the packs came with a little wooden scooper so I tied that on the bottle with raffia just for fun. I love that it corrals all the salts in one place, makes a nice relaxing visual element in the bathroom and was basically from stuff I had on hand. Super cool that the bottle has a built in rubber stopper to keep everything fresh. Now I get to enjoy the salts, even when I’m too busy for a bath! Suddenly I have a craving for fried scallops and ice cold lemonade…
